Cantonese Opera
Hong Kong is one of the best places on earth to watch Cantonese opera. The best time to
watch it is during the
Hong Kong Arts Festival
in February/March and the Mid-Autumn
Festival, when outdoor performances are staged in Victoria Park. You can also catch a per-
formance at the
Temple Street Night Market
or during Chinese festivals.
There are daily performances at the
Sunbeam Theatre
and at the new
Yau Ma Tei Theatre
.
If you don't speak Cantonese, the best way to book tickets for the Sunbeam Theatre is
through Urbtix or CityLine.
Entertainment by Neighbourhood
Hong Kong Island: Central
Central's boisterous Lan Kwai Fong (LKF) is one of Asia's le-
gendary party streets.
Hong Kong Island: the Peak & the Northwest
The hip Sheung Wan neighbourhood is the
place for laid-back bars and speakeasies.
Hong Kong Island: Wan Chai & the Northeast
A former red light district, Wan Chai is still
synonymous with all-night indulgence.
Hong Kong Island: Aberdeen & the South
Though it has a few great pubs, quiet South-
side is more about beaches than bars.
Kowloon
Sing karaoke til the sun comes up in the peninsula that never sleeps.
Avenue of Stars
Much of Kowloon's prime waterfront is dedicated to stars of the Hong Kong cinema,
honored through statues and hand prints. Though foreigners may not recognise
many of the names, everyone loves to pose in front of the Bruce Lee statue. The gi-
ant bronze pig, in case you're wondering, is McDull, a beloved Hong Kong children's
cartoon.
